reading, miscellaneous writing, travel
Anyone who can be a value-add to my life. Life's too short to spend it on those who don't bring something, no matter how trivial, to the table.
The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
I've learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did, but people will
never forget how you made them feel.
~Maya Angelou
I consider myself an eclectic. My favorites span many genres.

I rarely watch TV. Too many other things to do....
Recent favorites include The Bridges of Madison County, anything by Nicholas Sparks, Tuesdays With Morrie, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, and A Thousand Country Roads.

Words of Wisdom:
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

Love is a symbol of eternity that wipes away all sense of time,
removing all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.

Hope Is The Thing With Feathers
by Emily Dickinson
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
